Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. is facing widespread criticism from political leaders and civil rights organizations after a video surfaced of him making false claims that COVID-19 was designed to attack certain ethnic groups while sparing Ashkenazi Jews and Chinese people — a conspiracy theory that drew accusations of antisemitism and racism.

    Remember when the Kennedy name was a mark of quality for politicians and not a surgeon general’s warning? “Caution: May contain high levels of crazy.”

    And to think that phony “No Labels” organization actually supports this guy! How about we elect a politician that actually DOES stuff instead of spreading conspiracy theories and demonizing already disenfranchised groups of people? Denying a transgender person health care never put food on my table, just sayin’.

      Someone’s last name should never be an indicator of quality. I’d like my politics dynasty-free, thank you.
